Keeping you on taupe of things: It's officially Spring!

In case you haven't heard, the Spring season has officially arrived. That means it's time to bring out the pastels from the back of your closet and pull out those open-toe shoes that have been mocking you all winter long. You may be asking what colors are said to be a hit this Spring, but no worries I've done all of the research for you! Pantone recently released their annual color prediction for all of the 2015 seasons, and contrary to last spring's neons, this spring features more muted colors (hello beautiful neutrals). So, without further adieu, I give you this Spring's hottest colors:

1. Aquamarine

This color is a calm, dreamy blue that is said to be soothing. It's color roots stem back to the ocean, making it the perfect color to pack for a vacation(or to wear any day as a relaxing reminder of the beach and sunny days).

2. Scuba Blue

This color has much more vibrant and vivacious notes. It can be worn as the as the perfect pick me up as it's color contains a contagious energy.

3. Lucite Green

This color is comparable to aquamarine as it too is very soothing in nature. It's hues are refreshing, gentle, and airy making it the perfect color for a breezy day.

4. Classic Blue

This color, like it's name, is classic and confident. It's one of the more bold colors Pantone listed for the season making it perfect for a work presentation or a formal evening out to send your confidence soaring. 

5. Toasted Almond 

(I'd like one of everything in this color, please!)
Like I said, hello beautiful neutral! This color has a very warm, organic hue that embodies the summer season just around the corner. 

6. Strawberry Ice

This color is very refreshing and sweet, much like the name suggests. It has a glowing hue and tempting charm that makes it a hard color choice to refuse. 

7. Tangerine

This color is bold without being overly in your face. It's hue is juicy and irresistible
making it a must have color if you're looking to spice things up this Spring.

8. Custard

This color makes you want to floor it to your closest ice cream parlor. It's hue is fun, sunny, and lighthearted. So if you're a "wherever the wind takes me" kind of gal, this is the perfect color for you!

9. Marsala

This color is as yummy as it sounds. It's one of Pantone's more daring choices, and I'm all about it. It's hue is sensual, warm and sophisticated.

10. Glacier Gray (A Taupe Shop favorite!)

This timeless color is one to always have in your closet. It can easily be transitioned from fall to winter, winter to spring, spring to summer, and summer to fall. It has a relaxing and peaceful hue that is perfect for starting your day off on a positive note!

So now that you have all of the color info you'll need to look your best this Spring, go out and have some fun with it! Even if you're wearing a color not on the list, remember that it's your confidence that ultimately makes an outfit work.
